YOUR VOTE MATTERS IN 2018

Many critical state races will be on the ballot this November. Focus on the Family wants to help EQUIP you with the discerning resources and solid research you need before you step into the voting booth on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018 (or before with early voting).

One great resource to consider is a state-specific Voter Guidecreated by individual state Family Policy Councils (FPC) associated with Focus on the Family. The FPC state network operates in nearly 40 states and many of these organizations produce General Election Voter Guides, which include candidate positions on key issues, such as the sanctity of human life and religious freedom.

If so, click on the hyperlink to connect directly with the state FPC. If you have questions about the FPC’s website or the availability of its Voter Guide, please contact the FPC directly.

One of the many ways we, as Christians, can engage the culture for Christ is to start in the home with our children by raising them up to be leaders in their own spheres of influence. After all, today’s children are tomorrow’s voices of faith. That’s why Focus on the Family is excited to unveil its new “Your Family’s Election Activity Kit,” designed to prepare every member of the family to be “the best of citizens.”

It’s never too early to begin impressing the value of good citizenship in the hearts and minds of your children. “Your Family’s Election Activity Kit” provides easy-to-use tools and teachable concepts to help you bring home the importance of informed voting and engaged citizenship.

The responsibility to prepare the next generation of citizens is in your hands. Download your free kit today!

As our nation continues on what appears to be a free-fall descent into lawlessness, there’s only one viable solution: PRAYER. And, as Christ followers, we know the first step to seeing our land healed starts with us, the Body of Christ.

LET’S GET STARTED: Please commit to pray with us daily throughout the month of October. You can follow along with us when you download our complimentary guide. Each day helps you get started by focusing on a different topic or need in our culture. And should a friend, family member or neighbor share their concerns with you about this election, why not invite them to join you in intervening on the nation’s behalf? Who knows how God might choose to use you — and them — to make Himself known!

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.” — Matthew 7:7-8 ESV
